With squirms and squeals, five chicks scratch around the farmyard to find their breakfast. One by one, the chicks stumble upon the most unusual snacks--from a fuzzy butterfly to a shiny trout in the farm pond. Fortunately, Mama Hen is right there to point them back in the right direction. Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Nancy Tafuri matches a bouncing, rhyming text and simple counting lesson to warm, sunny illustrations, making this a perfect book for any mama and her brood. Sweet and springy illustrations will delight readers as the text counts from one to five little chicks. The Classic Board Book logo calls out this title's concept of counting on the front cover.

Ten adorable animals take cover from a storm in this Classic Board Book edition of Nancy Tafuri’s counting book. Dark clouds started to gather. Bird flew for cover. Now there was 1 in the hill hollow. The wind started to blow. Mouse ran for cover. Now there were 2 in the hill hollow. As clouds amass overhead and rain starts to pour, ten little woodland animals hurry to find shelter. Count from one to ten as Bird, Mouse, Squirrel, and their friends run for cover in a cozy hollow. The animals are all safe for the night, but who else is hiding in the cave with them? They’ll find out in the morning—and readers can count from ten to one as the animals scurry out of the hollow and into a big, beautiful day. This Classic Board Book edition is a hands-on favorite for even the youngest of readers!
